I even downloaded the service manual from the forum (which I believe isn’t complete),

The Service manual for the BM70000 is an ad on to the BM6500 service manual. So you also need the service manual for the BM6500 for completion.

When backup battery has been replaced you need to conduct test 7 and 16 as described on page 7-6 in the BM6500 service manual (taken from my notes when I replaced the backup battery on my BM6500).

You have started the same topic in two different forums at the same time on Beoworld without explaining your setup i the Nodic forum.

I thought that your Beomaster 7000 was in a “solo” setup and not a part of a multi room.

So I can’t help you there.

Normally if there is only audio in headphone jacket and SPEAKER 2, these can be there reasons:

1. a bad mute relay (RL1)
2. bad TR2
3. the mute pin in the haeadphone jack is constant set to GND.

Next question: Is there audio in SPEAKER 1?

If yes, is there 12V on PL pin 3 (PL ON/OFF) when the BM is on?

If no check TR5 on the power supply.

If yes, then check the PL cables.

Have you tried to connect normal speakers to SPEAKER 2 output?

I would check that the muting pin in the jack plug isn’t permantly connected to GND.
I’ve seen that before.

I normally use this 3M300LSE double sided tape to reattach the aluminium ring back to the keypad.
At the attached picture how its used.

If the aluminium ring isn’t lose I’ii leave it on the keypad when cleaning in warter with dishwash soap.

I’ve repaired +20 BL5K lately and my experience is that the original display ribbon will fail at some point.
There is a guy in Struer I use my self who can replace the ribbon. PM me for contact details if you go down that route.
But if you chooses not to I think that Beolover has an instruction with a 3D printed fixture.

For recap of the IR PCB, there is a guide from Leslie Nelwan at the Beoworld archive showing which caps there needs to be replaced.
https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/9016/89901.aspx 
Look a little more than half way down.

For reattach the display I use double-sided tape from RS Component after a good clean to remove the old glue.
https://dk.rs-online.com/web/p/skumtape-dobbeltsidet/1612919?gb=s

The artefact on the display is not fixable. At least for now.

In according to the service manual the only thing there can be ajusted is the contrast of the display.

Hope the above gives you some help and mybe you could get some inspiration for this:

My favorite is the BM 1900 I got as my confimation present back 1979 from my parents and later on in 1984 I added a 2nd hand BG 8000. I still own both.

Now I use on daily bases my Beosystem 7000 with a pair of Beolab Penta mk 3 operated with Beolink 5000/7000. All has undergone a renovation.

If one should do a comparison to the official whiteB&O remotes, the MCP 6500 has white background for the black button and the Beoremote one have the buttons so close that there is no background, so any comparison to what “it would look like” if it was an official product is difficult.

I however fully understand that you do not wan’t to change the top plate because of the Bang & Olufsen text.

Thanks Mads for the kind words.

Just for you I’ve attached the requested comparison with the white MCP 6500 and yes the white BL5K is a little bit “off white”.

You are absolutely right that the top plate should have been white as well but as you say then the Bang & Olufsen text will disappear and I’ve no clue how to added it again afterwards

This will probably have divided opinions.
After renovating quite a few Beolink 5000, my BL5K Brother in Arms and I have been working on a white version of a Beolink 5000 that B&O never produced.
This is number 2, judge for yourself!

Funny, I can see that I was born on a Thursday in week 29 from your picture of the calendar of 1965.

I recal how to do the PCB layout with adhensive pads and traces. Done that a lot in the early 80’s when I in apprenticeship as electronics technician.

One think you have to be aware of, is when you get the USB port to be recognized in the configuration tool you can’t download the current Beo5 configuration and have to upload a brand new one.

This issue has been discussed a lot on the old forum.

The configuration tool when used for programming Beo5 needs to be run on a 32 bit version of windows. Either on an old computer or on a virtual machine running 32 bit windows.

I use VirtualBox and a old 32 bit windows 7/configuration tool 6.xx to program my Beo5’s. It took a lot of time and frustration to get the configuration tool and USB driver/port to connect to the Beo5.

I’ve seen that when using normal non-rechargeable batteries on the Beolink 5000s that I’ve renovated. The minus pad is often to small and create bad contact in the battery bay, especially the midle one. . Problem was solved by using rechargeable batteries (Ikea LADDA) where the minus pad is bigger.

 

Hope this can help.

But it’s still valid.
